FreeBSD Port: Netspeed 0.12

[Peter Thoenen]

Hallo,

Not sure if you had this problem or even noticed it yet but below is a
correspdance I had with the applet designer.  Might want to update the port
makefile.

Hi,

netspeed now uses its one code to get the bytes transferred on a network
device. This is linux specific however (at least i think so - it reads
the bytes from /proc/dev/net). This was because of a bug in glibtop >=
2.8, which made netspeed crash (don't know if the bug has been fixed
yet). The old code which uses glibtop is still available however. Just
run ./configure --enable-glibtop.

Hope that helps,
Jörgen
